This is the second screen guard I have tried for my G1. Although there is only one in the package, it is a good one. A problem I had with another screen guard from "Smartphone Experts" was that the guard material was not crystal clear. It had small distortions that degraded the video watching experience. This one has none of those distortions. Also, the guard came protected on both sides and had handy peel-off tabs to remove the thin protective plastic from each side. Lastly, the guard fits the screen perfectly and was a snap to install -- no water or chemicals needed. It comes with a cleaning cloth. Good product.

Really do not let the price fool you. This is a great product. It fits the G1 perfectly. The performance of the touch screen is not affected by the application of this screen protector. Shipping is fast and installation is no problem at all.

The T-Mobile store didn't have any G1 screen protectors to sell and suggested going to Office Depot and buying a screen protector for a gps and cutting it to fit. Ummmm no thank you. I was a little worried that something selling for under $1 could not be a good product but I thought, well it's not much money to find out. And it turned out to be great so go ahead and buy with confidence.

This is the best screen protector ever. It is so clear and completely unnoticeable. I had them shipped to my office, so I wouldn't miss the delivery. I was so excited about it, I installed it at my desk and it was so easy to put on, and looks great. Fits perfectly and the cloth it comes with is awesome, I use it on my sunglasses too :). Best screen protector ever.

These screen guards are sized correctly and apply easily, but that's about the best that can be said for them.

Although ostensibly only $.02 (or $.01 now, it seems) per unit, the "shipping & handling" obviously mitigates that "bargain" price. Are they good enough to warrant that extra "hidden" cost? I don't think so. Furthermore, if you order more than one, you are still charged the exorbitant extra shipping fee per unit, despite the fact that they are delivered in one package. The more you buy the more outrageous the supposed "deal" becomes. How is that a bargain? They certainly don't weigh enough to cost $2.98 for shipping, so they must be "handled" an awful lot. (Is $29.90 for 10 mediocre screen protectors worth it?)

At first they seem ok, but with a bit of use the downside becomes apparent. The material is simply subpar. There is quite obvious color distortion (a ranbow color effect) and in bright sunlight they defract the light making the screen more difficult to see. They also attract fingerprints, smears and dust like a magnet, making it necessary to wipe off the protector almost constantly. Being a basic rubbery plastic, they sometimes impede smooth finger-sliding motions which can making certain touch-screen operations difficult.

Considering the price, I think there are much better products that provide a better overall experience. If these were merely to protect a non-touch screen they would be fine, but considering the imposition they create for necessary operation of your G1, I say avoid them. I respect my G1 too much to sully it with this subpar product. I'd rather use no protector at all than use these.

Ok so the installation is not rocket science but still it would be nice if they marked which side was adhesive by saying "This side up during installation" instead of "1" "2". If there is a ton of bubbles you got the wrong side down. Protection feels quite a bit stronger than the original protector. It feels about as smooth as the original protector. Would have given 5 stars if instructions were more clear.

The protector is just a bit undersized, but it's negligible. Screen looks amazing with it on, and there hasn't been any interference with the touchscreen. Very cheap item, but it certainly does its functions properly!

I was looking for a screen protector for my G1 and stumbled across this one. I was iffy about how cheap the price was but decided to give it a try. (I was desperate). Product came in maybe 2 to 3 days, and it went on TOO EASILY. I was very cautious due to the other reviews and reviews on similar products, read the directions a few times and it was MUCH easier than I thought. Now my screen looks as if nothing is on it and is protected...

I am very happy with the product and the seller. I would recommend it 100%.

I highly recommend this product for everyone who owns this phone.It is absolutely a must-have for HTC Android G1.The film was made just the exact size for the screen.And it's reuasable like it's said.I already used it for a month and it's still good.No drop off problem.Well protects the screen.

the shiping was awsomoe but the scree proctector was not like i expectected it was really low quality i was expecting more but the price was amazing maybe thats way it was so low quality

Great quality, feels better than the plastic cover that ships with the G1. Comes with a cleaning cloth, instructions, fits well. Seems to repel dust more than the cover that comes with the G1 - so it's always clear except maybe some grease from your fingers if you hold it so it catches the light. Highly recommended.
